BBC SPORT | Football | Internationals | Croatia 1-4 England
In a performance that must rank with the 5-1 defeat of Germany and the 4-1 defeat of Holland, England thrashed the gloating Croats firstly by squeezing the life out of them, then by playing football in a style we all hope England would play in all the time. Wayne Rooney was brilliant and Theo Walcott scored an unbelievable hat-trick to put the Croats in their place.
The first half was a bit frustrating as we could’ve used the ball a bit better although in truth Croatia didn’t really get a sniff due to how well organised England were. Second half we murdered them (even before they had a man sent off) and we scored some excellent goals. A bit of footballing joy at last !
